Winter Mini-Packet Freebie! You can download it here on TPT

The enclosed activities in this packet include:
1 - 4-Square writing template for winter.  This will allow your students to put their thoughts together in an organized way.

1 - Word Scramble.  This can be for early finishers, center activities, or a way to reinforce reading different words.

1 - Character comparison.  There are so many stories for the winter and completing a venn diagram will help your students compare the similarities and differences between the chosen characters in the story.

1 - Fact and Opinion Activity.  The teacher can read a story about winter or the students can read one by themselves.  They will fill write down facts and opinions about winter.

I hope this can help in some way! :)

Hello! Below I have a long a word hunt freebie.  This can be used during center time, reading groups, or as a sorting activity.  My students love looking for hidden words around the room and  the best part is... they are learning!  Feel free to download a copy of this.

Welcome to my page!

Hi Everyone! My name is Dawn, a first grade teacher in New Jersey! I have been teaching first grade for six years and love it! I decided to start a blog when I saw the amazing teachers and their blogs that I have come across.  I have a lot to learn but what better way than amongst other bloggers?!? I hope you enjoy my page! Thanks for stopping by!

PS: If anyone knows how I can change my font to something fancy, please let me know!
